Kicker 12l5 on 460RMS?

[cheeto 10+ year member]

So, I want something louder than my 12w3... i'm thinking about saving for a little bit for the Kicker 12l5, but my amp is only 460RMS @ 4 ohms. Would the 12L5 kicker harder on 460 rms than a 12cvr on 460 rms? Thanks.

That one, it came with the box and 12w3 I bought from a friend.

that 12w3 is not a bad sub,i don't know that either of those other subs is going to be much better. what kind of box are you using?

A better amp to push the w3? That amp's probly under rated, but isnt the w3's rms power 300, and I'm pushing it at around 350-400 (assuming the amp is underrated)?

600 to 800 will make it bump.

I don't mean to sound dumb, but the website says 500 is the DANGER ZONE AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH but seriously, I don't wanna blow it, then I'd be screwed.

Aight, well I know the w3 isn't very expensive as far as subs go, but I don't have much money to spend on subs. And shit, as far as I know, those tens could be like, re mt's
